Viking Family Cruises Reviews

It covered areas that we had not visited before or had not been exposed to that culture. We had sailed on the Oden previously from Paris to Prague and enjoyed that cruise even though there were snags in the itinerary. We would never have taken the cruise on the Embla if our experiences on the Oden had been the same. The first part of the cruise was in Budapest and enjoyable. Croatia was the ...

We had an excellent experience with this, our third Viking cruise. We had land-based stays in Shanghai, xian, and Beijing. The hotels, which Viking had arranged, were fabulous, especially the Wyndem Grande in Xian. The ship, the Emerald, is not owned byViking, but it was quite nice. The bed was not the most comfortable, but there were a lot of nice amenities on board. The food, in general, ...

The itinerary brought me into the heart of Europe. Each day of our 15 were full of fun adventures. The activity level was perfect. The staff all over the ship was very professional and made sure that my vacation was enjoyable everyday. We have never been on a river cruise before this adventure. We were very pleasantly surprised that there was no feeling of the ship moving. Sea sickness was ...

We heard from many folks that the Viking cruises were outstanding and highly recommended. Having a stop every day with included tours as well as optional tours made it an experience to remember. Everyone on board was marvelous. Very courteous and helpful. The tour guides were all the best. Very friendly and lots of good information. Meals were very well done with the open seating. One improvement ...

This was a lifetime opportunity for my wife and I to personally visit some many wonderful places which are so different than any where else in the world , that had so much significance. Every day was filled with new and exciting experiences. This trip was first class in every way, from the pre cruise documentation, to the greeting at the airport to the wonderful English speaking tour guide. ...

The representative met us at the airport and took us to the ship. They were very courteous and gave us a mini tour on our way. Once on board we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff. Our cabin was very clean and easy to maneuver. Plenty of storage and nice bathroom. Our shore excursions were very good guided tours with plenty of free time to shop,relax and sightsee further. The dining ...

Overall everything was better than I expected, the crew were super friendly and always making sure that you were having a good time. Facilities great. I will travel again with Vikings. Good size cabin for a cruise, we plan in expending time on the deck rather than the room. Food choices were great, excellent breakfast choices. Included excursions where great the guides were very energetic and ...

Following in a friend's footsteps we chose Viking Emerald to China because all the reviews looked so great and the trip came highly recommended. Could barely fault anything for the whole two weeks. Logistics were superb, our luggage simply appeared outside our room and was collected everywhere we went. 7 flights in 2 weeks and hardly a delay anywhere. From day 1 we were looked after by the amazing ...

The objective of this trip (both cruise and land portion) was to experience the highlights of China. We organized this particular trip in conjunction with a trip to Hong Kong and Japan. The trip was excellent. The organization was phenominal. There were 4-5 flights within China, hotel accomodations, plus the river portion. Each portion of the trip went without a hitch, which in my opinion ...
